Where We've Been + Where We're Going

It's been a very hectic semester. I have 3 different preps and 100 students with ability levels ranging from "valedictorian" to "struggles with reading." I did want to take a moment, however, and share some of their work with you. I'm going to append most of it without comment, and let you kind of cruise it as a gallery walk. 

Here are the blogs from my AP English Language class. No, they did not pick the thumbnails. Their general assignment is to pick something we've done/mentioned in class and connect it to something outside of class in the "real world." (h/t to David Theriault, whose idea this was.)

Students made grammar videos and video Sparknotes (with the puppets they also made):

They used Google Draw to create symbolic renditions of the patterns they found in Virginia Woolf's The Waves:

The AP students have also started to make YouTube videos that explain important literary vocabulary.

And the Desktop Publishing kids have been making massive portfolios of work: building websites/blogs; photoshopping images; coding games with Tynker; making elegant and terrible slide decks and walkthroughs of complicated technological processes; and all sorts of other foolish and beautiful stuff. I will create a separate post that links them all in at the end of the semester when they are finally done.
